PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) issued the following announcement on Mar. 4.
We continue to see the devastating impact on Ukrainian families and civilians. PwC US is in close contact with our colleagues in Central and Eastern Europe to help our teammates and their families as well as to support the broader community who have been displaced or affected by war.
One of our greatest strengths as a firm is to harness the collective power to support people who need us the most. This time is no different.
PwC US continues to identify actions we can take to help:
The US firm is making a $125,000 donation to the Ukraine Crisis Fund through CARE to provide frontline humanitarian aid and support. The PwC Charitable Foundation will award $300,000 in grants to Save the Children and Project Hope, both of which have a long history of working in Ukraine in collaboration with local organizations. Between the firm and the Foundation, we have donated $425,000 to date to provide frontline humanitarian aid and support.
The People Who Care Fund, a PwC Charitable Foundation program, will be providing resources for PwC LLP employees and their immediate families who are experiencing emergency financial hardships as a result of the attack on Ukraine.
We are providing our people with vetted charitable organizations that they can contribute to or they can start their own crowdfunder for an organization that will make an on-the-ground impact.
Our US firm will match all employee donations up to $1,000 per donor to any of the listed organizations and crowdfunder accounts that are supporting Ukrainian relief efforts.
We also provide 40 hours of utilized time for skills-based volunteering through Skills for Society.
We have an internal forum for our people to come together, share resources and find ways to get involved.
We stand with the people of Ukraine and deplore the aggression against the country as well as those affected by this tragedy.
